Thanks to those who tried to identify these for me. The 4 British wheels
went to the recycle center today.

That was about 58 pounds of aluminum alloy at 53 cents a pound. I also
took my two 14.5 pounds each Miata wheels in, so the total aluminum
weight was 87 pounds.

Talking big bucks! Made my money back anyway, and the cleared out garage
space is nice. Now if I could just find a place for that Miata 5-speed
transmission.......

Thanks again!

Pat
